I live in Japan, and when I just had to have a Celica convertible there was a long waiting list--pay now and wait. I talked to an auto broker, and he was able get me a display car from Yokohama, one of the first G6 Celica convertibles built, and they delivered it to my house a few days later, with about 100 miles on it, most of that from Yohohama to my house.
I keep it in top shape, because there is no other car I've seen at any price that I'd rather have. Just when I was going to buy another one like it new, the G7 came out. Anyway, it doesn't get a lot of miles on it, because we normally use trains in Japan to go any distance. Unlike the U.S. versions, this car came with a 200-hp inline 4, available only with manual. And, of course, it's right-hand drive. I had no idea there was such a thing as a G6 Celica forum or that the GT-Four wasn't sold outside Japan. From my wife's Web site: ![]() |

It is ironic, b/c this car is made in Japan, yet we rarely have anyone that actually is from or lives in Japan post on here. I'm sure it is mostly b/c the Japanese owners have a language barrier if they come on the site.
So, are you Japanese? What do you do in Japan (job)? What has kept you there all these years, if you are not Japanese? Welcome! |
